have by mistake deleted the main super user account of "host" (password: dnnhost) and cud not log on back again, as a host. I do not know how this happened. i tried to send a forgot passord request but the system did not recognised the username host,
can we add a host account or reset the default host name, as no host  or super account exist account no exist now

please note the database is working seamlessly and i can get into the admin username but not the host,

the default host user name was deleted by myself, but i am wondering how one can delete himself while logged in with the same username, this is not possible unless there is another hidden/disabled host username?

under windows enviroment that is not possible for one to delete the defaul host name while long on to it.
it is either a security flaw or aplication erro.r
appreciate ur help.
thanks

I found a perfect solution and like to share it with u....

Log on to your database

Go to Tables

Go to “Users” not any other table!

Use query to get the data (or u can use any tool to execute a query, ie EMS SQL Manager Lite, a wonderful freeware tool)

Click the box for IsSuperUser  for the username you to temporary assign as Super User

Log on to your DNN as the above username, you will notice that the username has been elevated from Admin to Super User.

Add a Super User of your choice.

Log out,

Go back to your Database u can see the new user has been added, and you now uncheck the temporary username

It works like magic;  …….. provided you have access to your database and an admin user.
